He’s a rich guy. He’s got a big house. So the hell what? I live in a small (1200 sq ft) house in the Santa Cruz mountains…single pane glass, non-insulated walls, but a gorgeous view. I probably use more propane and wood keeping my place warm in the winter than most mcmansions down in the valley do. If I had Al’s money, I’d probably have another three or four thousand square feet…and I’d go solar, insulated, etc. to keep the costs and the footprint as small as possible.

People act like Al Gore should live in a yurt.

He only retrofitted it in 2007. Before then, his energy usage was positively obscene. I don’t want him to live in a yurt, i just want him to downgrade from flaming hypocrite to middling hypocrite.
